of all the people that drive 1.2 percent isnt that much, so it seems that people are cutting back but still not enough. maybe should reach at least 5-7%

The front part of this artical is very misleading. Using a 4 week average, year to year, we are .3% LESS gas used. And Easter was not at this time last year.

Of course a long weekend will cause an increase in week-to-week demand ... what was it last Easter though - that's the true measure.
